Researchers believe this genetic mutation protected against the 14th century-bubonic plague.

This finding suggests sex between men and the sharing of drug-sniffing equipment are possible routes of transmission.

In a recent trial, Gilead’s regimen was highly successful in a group that included those with and without HIV coinfection.

This is according to the large randomized controlled START trial.

These two factors may exacerbate brain declines in people with HIV.

Preterm delivery is defined as giving birth before 37 weeks of gestation.

Treating hep C lowers the risk.

Among a group of largely HIV-positive gay and bi men, Zepatier (grazoprevir/elbasvir) boasted a 99 percent cure rate.

Many of the 215 injection-drug-related HIV infections could have been averted from a swifter response, according to researchers’ estimates.

Nevertheless, researchers advise careful kidney monitoring when pairing the medications.

Using opioid medication treatment such as methadone appears to lower this risk.
